DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. --  436th Financial Management Flight has currently implemented the latest Turbo Tax-style online travel system, E-Finance.

E-Finance will enable members, whether Active Duty, Reservist, or civilian, to seamlessly file a travel voucher and associated forms in an electronic fashion. Finance forms will be generated online in an easy, step-by-step manner using an online wizard to guide creation.

Key features include the ability to add supporting documents, upload orders, amendments, and receipts to attach to your voucher, much like you already do with DTS.

Submission of your travel voucher sends an e-mail to your squadron approval authority to check the voucher for any discrepancies or necessary changes. Once the electronic document passes this level of review, it is forward to the Financial Services Office for review and submittal to the centralized payment center.

This change is convenient and hopes to be a time-saver for everyone. By logging onto e-Finance through any common access card enabled computer, you may create, view, and track the status of your own travel voucher at any time.

If you do experience any problems with the voucher, this can be resolved through a unit e-Voucher point of contact, contacting finance, or using the Airman Self-Service Kiosk located in building 520 near Finance. In addition to the convenience factor, e-Voucher will decrease paper and toner usage while increasing payment speed through the member's own submission of the voucher.

E-Voucher, an application in E-Finance, offers options beyond the standard travel voucher such as preparation and assistance for: advance pay, allotments start, stop and change, Base Allowance for Housing certification and recertification, Base Allowance for Subsistence, Cost-of-Living Allowance, Family Separation Pay, and travel vouchers to include accruals, partial settlements, travel advances, and final settlement vouchers. Additional forms needed to initiate these actions are easily downloaded through e-Finance.

E-Voucher has been made mandatory for all Active Duty members. Reservists are encouraged to participate in order to reap the benefits of the e-Voucher and e-Finance systems. Please contact 436th FMS at Defense Switched Network 445-4486 or Commercial 302 677-4808 for any questions regarding implementation and use of e-Finance.
